FORT MCMURRAY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - April 24, 2014) - The Wood Buffalo Environmental Association (WBEA) is reaching out to Cree and Dene speaking community members through an informational video that has been translated into both Cree and Dene native languages.

The video gives stakeholders and community members an insider's look at WBEA's extensive air monitoring network, and explains exactly how WBEA goes about the job of continuously monitoring and reporting air quality for the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo (RMWB).

WBEA Executive Director, Dr. Kevin Percy, said, "This video does a great job of showing community members exactly how we measure and report on air quality in our region. We thought it was important to have this resource translated to Cree and Dene in order to better reach out to our Aboriginal partners and stakeholders. We worked with local Cree and Dene speaking community members to do the voice over translations, and we are really pleased with the result."

The Wood Buffalo Environmental Association (WBEA) is an independent, community based, not-for-profit organization that monitors the air in the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. This is done through a variety of air, land and human monitoring programs. The air quality information collected is openly shared with stakeholders and the public.
